SPEECH OF HON. S. B. DOLE.
Mr.. Dole said: There are two
thoughts to which I will call your at
tention in our constitution. First, tn,
King conducts his government for the
common good. The second is like un
to it, "All people are allowed to assem-
bic for the common good" and va
would not be here if the King had con
Quoted the government for the com
mon good. This meeting is for the
common good, and composed Of men
who are determined to have what they
want This meeting is to give the
King one chance to fall into line for
the comman good--just one chance.
| do not say that he will take the
chance. am not here to talk about
ministers, but about the King, for he is
not conducting the government for the
common good. need not relate
facts of bad government by the King
to you; they are familiar to you; they
relate to everything connected with his
office, interference with everything has
been his rule. We are here
for no unlawful purpose; we
are here to demand that the
King put his Government in line with
cleanliness, and ask him that he return
this money which every man, woman
and child in the country believes he
took unlawfully- for the sake OF
the parties from whom he took this
money but for the sake Of having the
Government conducted according e.
right principles We remember the
last six years, during which the rights
OF the people have been trampled
under foot and their money squand-
cred in the most reckless way. This
movement has gone so Ear that going
along the street the talk | hear amounts
to treason. | will support the resolu-
tons.
SPEECH OF J. A. M'cANDLEss.
Mr. J. A. McCandless said he stood
there as the representative Of class Of
people who were fifteen hundred
strong, and they would support these
resolutions to the last drop of their
blood. They represented the mechanics,
who were determined to have these
resolutions carried out He had heard
within the last few days that the most
Of them were DISTINGUISHED, and they
meant to put an end to that. They were
DISTINGUISHED because they were white
men, He referred to some who were
weakened, amusing the audience with
the account Of a man who had bought
a rifle and then leit note on his table
saying that he would be out of town
tall next Sunday. For their encourage.
lnent be reminded them that this move
ment was in the hands of the descend.
ants Of the men who one hundred
years ago fought for liberty in America;
also the descendants of the heroes OF
Waterloo, Balaklava and APP, omattoN.

coin ne utilized its point by saying il
was time the people of Hawaii put
IT'S foot down hard. He knew from
the sentiments expressed here this
afternoon that they were now ready.
SPEECH or HON. c. R. BISHOP.
Hon. c. r. Bishop said This is
unquestionably an important meeting,
the most important ever held in Homo
lulu. i see before me mechanics, mer
chants, professional men. They are
not here for amusement but because
they feel that the course of affairs calls
for prompt and determined action,
We should discuss matters in a peace
able manner without any threats; We
do not need any threats. The fact |
that so many men have come here
shows that we do not need any threats
came here in 1870, became natural
lied in I84o, and have lived under FIVE |
kings We thought we had really a |
liberal constitution. because those kings
did not encroach upon the rights of |
their subjects. But we have found out
within the last few years that our con.
stitution is defective, partly on account
of bad advice to the king, but largely |
on his own account The king has en-
croached on our rights. We have very |
few mass meetings, but when we have |
one like this believe it means either
new constitution or one with material
reforms, which am sure we shall
have | come here as a Hawaiian, not
for any class or clique. If it was for
any class or clique would not come
here at ALL
Mr. J. L. Warehouse made a vigor.
